Leading Lines: Leading lines are lines within an image that leads the eye to another
point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image. Anything with a definite line can
be a leading line. Fences, bridges, even a shoreline can lead the eye. If you can pair
leading lines with a subject that is placed according to the rule of thirds, your image
should be powerful.
● Guiding the viewer's eyes through the photo, helping them explore the whole
scene.
● Drawing attention to the main subject or focal point of the shot.
● Adding depth and a sense of perspective to make the scene feel more "real"
and three dimensional.
● Creating an interesting subject in their own right, particularly in abstract photos.
S Curves: S curves can have a mesmerizing effect on the viewer as their eyes sweep
back and forth through the frame. They also create a sense of depth as the eye
moves from foreground to background. S curves can be found in the natural flow of a
river, a winding road, or a pathway.
